The next one will be a busy market for Real Madrid. The great objective is to ensure the signing of Mbappé, who can be tied up even before the transfer window opens. But several more names will be in the limelight. With the imminence of the end of the contract for several players, the market offers opportunities to reinforce with renowned players.
Mbappé (22 years)
The great objective and the priority of Madrid. After the soap opera of this past summer, the one of the next most likely will not hold even to the opening of the market. The French star ends his contract with PSG in June and the white club can sign the agreement with the player on January 1. Kylian can commit to Madrid as soon as the bell rings.
Haaland (21 years)
The gentlemen’s agreement that the Norwegian has with Dortmund for the Rhenish club to listen to offers for him in 2022 will make Haaland more coveted than a candy at the door of a school. Mino Raiola, the forward’s agent, and the Norwegian’s father went on a mini-tour last spring through the offices of Real Madrid, Barcelona and several greats of the Premier. Next January, Manchester City has an appointment with Raiola.

Lewandowski (33 years)
The Pole does not stop scoring goals. Has exceeded the 40-point bar in the last six seasons. He ends his contract in 2023 and his future at Bayern has been in question on more than one occasion. The latest information from Germany echo their discomfort over the interest of the Bavarian team in taking over Haaland. The Norwegian can cause a domino effect and take Lewy to Madrid at a reasonable price with the imminence of the end of his contract.
Pogba (28 years)
The third time the charm can go with the French midfielder. Madrid wanted it in 2016 and 2019, but the interest did not bear fruit. Contract with Manchester United ends in June 2022, so it will be another of the most sought-after pieces on the market. The ‘via Mbappé’ can also work with another of the architects of world champion France.

Rüdiger (28 years)
Another bargain that the next market may hold. The German center-back also ends his contract with Chelsea at the end of this season. It can be a great reinforcement for a position that Madrid did not finish reinforcing after the departure of Ramos and Varane. The modus operandi for his signing it would be the same as Alaba’s: take advantage of the end of the contract so that he arrives and thus be able to offer him a succulent contract. 12 million euros, same as the Austrian.
Kessié (24 years)
The midfielder ends his contract with Milan and not only captures the interest of Madrid, but also that of Barça. But there is a fearsome third party. PSG wants to repeat the maneuver it did to Milan with Donnarumma and snatch it from him for free, taking advantage of the expiration of his contract.
Sterling (26 years old)
The player himself has put himself on the market with a statement in an American publication: “If there was an opportunity to go elsewhere, I would be open to it at this time. I should learn a language. I quite like the French and Spanish accents. “. The moment could not be more opportune. Contract ends in 2023 and is in the renewal period with City or that the club skyblue I considered his departure to make money. An attractive target.
